The number of registered unemployed in Azerbaijan stood at 251,200 as of October 1, up 1.1% from a year earlier, according to the Central Bank of Azerbaijan.
The unemployment figure appears in the Central Bank of Azerbaijan’s nine-month Monetary Policy Review. The comparison is made against the reading recorded on October 1, 2025, showing the number of unemployed people in Azerbaijan has edged higher over the past year.
The review also cites a survey conducted as part of monitoring of the real sector. According to the survey, employment expectations in September were positive across several branches of the non-oil-and-gas industry.
Among the sectors singled out were plastic products manufacturing, metallurgy and construction materials production.
